I have been waiting on a transfer for quite some time. I purchased a weapon from a seller whose name starts with J. Someone with ATF has been holding up the transfer and yesterday I found out the ATF had marked the file as needing fingerprints, pictures, etc. I am a licensed FFL/SOT and those are not required for a transfer.
I am not familiar with their exact procedures. Does anyone know if it goes straight to the examiner or if someone does anything with the file prior to it going to the examiner. In other words--who possibly screwed this up and was asking for pictures, fingerprints, etc? I have been waiting on this for several months.
If it is screwed up, it was Shipman. He will blame you. He will even threaten you. He will then tell you that you are lucky when things get sorted out, even after showing it was his fault. No one in the NFA Branch likes him...
